Chapter 641 Warriors and Assassins
Soon another FA Cup semi-final result was released, Cardiff City beat Barnes with one away goal.
The FA Cup final match was released - Millwall vs Cardiff City.
Cardiff City is a Welsh club that has always participated in England's football system, but has never entered the top league in the history of football.
In 2003, Cardiff City was upgraded to the second-level Championship.
From Cardiff City's history to its current results, it can be seen that the team's performance has been improving. Many media and fans believe that Cardiff City's upgrade to the Premier League will happen sooner or later, and they will always be Premier League teams in the future.
This is because Cardiff City is located in Wales and is one of the most successful clubs in Wales.
They have a huge fan base.
If there are fans, there is finance. Even if the performance is not good for several seasons, good enough finance can support them to slowly upgrade. This is true for many clubs. For example, some big cities have separate clubs. Without competitors, there will definitely be a huge fan group. Even if the club owners are frequently changed, there will always be a support from the fan group. The finances will not be too bad, and the results will gradually improve.
As a Championship team, Cardiff City has no special mention to pay attention to when it can reach the FA Cup final.
In this way, Millwall is exactly the opposite.
Millwall is a team in the London region, but there are too many teams in the London region, so Millwall is in a very unfavorable situation in the competition for Millwall fans. From the perspective of the fan group, Millwall's performance will only get worse and worse, and the magical place is here.
Since Zhang Yang took charge, Millwall's performance has been rising and the number of fans has continued to increase.
Many media initially believed that Millwall had a good grade by chance. When Zhang Yang led the team, his grades would naturally drop if Zhang Yang left Millwall. Even said that it was very likely that he would quickly fall into the Championship and would continue to be relegated and sink.
Few people hold this statement nowadays.
Zhang Yang led the team secondly. Millwall's good results are about to build a cornerstone for the title of "Big Family". If Millwall continues to have good results and win many championships, they will attract more fans' attention. More fans will also represent Millwall's fiscal revenue and will enter a very healthy stage of operation.
As long as there is financial support, is the star still a problem?
After Zhang Yang left the team, the team could still operate normally and continue to ensure the results, but it was still very easy to maintain the upper level of the Premier League for a long time.
There is actually nothing to say about this FA Cup final.
No one is optimistic about Cardiff City.
Cardiff City fans knew that their opponent was Millwall, so they basically gave up on the team.
Millwall?
That is the strong team that continues to be unbeaten in the league, competing for all the championships, the final venue of the new Wembley Stadium, and Millwall's territory. Even if Millwall comes up with a substitute, he is much better than Cardiff City!
The gap between the two sides is so big.
Once the final match came out, there was no suspense in the result. Millwall would definitely win the FA Cup.
The FA Cup championship is here.
There will be no suspense for the league championship.
Mirwall is only one Champions League trophy left. They were the Champions League champions last season. Continuing to move forward this season is equivalent to successfully defending the title. There are too many media and fans paying attention to Mirwall's Champions League opportunity.
The Times said, "If Millwall can successfully win the Champions League, they will win all seven championships they can win the season! Become an unprecedented seven-champion!"
"They not only ruled the English football world, but also dominated the entire Europe and the world!"
The Times has received support from various British media.
When they reported on Millwall, they had a very bad mentality because Millwall dominated the Premier League and won the championship for two consecutive years. There is no suspense in the season again, which is the biggest evidence. Media from other countries used this to show that the competitive level of the Premier League is declining.
The point is, it's hard for them to say anything.
Now they finally found an opportunity. What if Millwall won two consecutive Champions League titles? Then it would not only dominate the Premier League schedule, but European football?
Barcelona, Real Madrid, A-M, and Bayern all praise their strength, but weren't Mirwall won the Champions League in a row?
This shows that Mirwall is no big deal to dominate the Premier League, because they all have the strength to dominate the Champions League!
Many British media can't wait to see that Millwall can win the Champions League.
———
Before Millwall and Chelsea competed in the Champions League quarterfinals, Millwall received support from the media, which was really an unexpected situation.
Zhang Yang is ready to be criticized by various media. Of course, they are not criticizing him in person, but write various arguments in analyzing the articles.
If you take out the articles one by one, you will win the "World Prophecy Award". Each article makes a lot of sense and analyzes them all, just like Mirwall must have lost the game.
This time Mirwall played against Chelsea again, and the outside world actually shouted, "Support Mirwall to win the Champions League championship"?
Zhang Yang doesn't understand what the media thinks.
Of course, this did not affect the match between Mirwall and Chelsea. Speaking of the match between the two teams, Chelsea has a reason to win, because the venue chosen for the Champions League final is Moscow. Many people say that if Chelsea can enter the final, they will encounter a "home game" in a foreign country, because their chairman Abramovich is a Russian, and most Russian fans will also support Chelsea led by Abramovich.
Chelsea hopes that situation will happen, provided that they have to defeat Millwall first.
At Chelsea many players, this is impossible to accomplish.
Chelsea are pessimistic.
The two teams have fought too many times, last time it was the league, last time it was the League Cup final, last time it was the league, and then we can review the Community Shield. The two sides have met four times this season, and Chelsea has not won once. Now it is the quarterfinals of the Champions League and will have to go through two more games.
Thinking of this, Chelsea players are in pain.
As a player, he should have a positive attitude towards the game, but how can he be active if his opponents cannot be defeated? Chairman Abramovich seemed to have found a way. He took out a large suitcase and contained five million pounds of banknotes.
"As long as you win this game, these are all yours!"
Abramovich is talking about ‘win this game’, not ‘win this round’, in other words, as long as he wins the first game at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea players can share £5 million.
This is really a big deal!
Abramovich attached too much importance to the game. When Chelsea lost to Mirwall again and again, his heart was bleeding. For three seasons, Chelsea passed by the championship again and again.
Was Mourinho not good at coaching?
No!
Mourinho just cannot lead the team to defeat Zhang Yang's Mirwall. It's just that simple. He still has very good results in leading the team to play against other teams. But in comparison, Manchester United cannot defeat Mirwall, and other teams have done very little.
What's the big deal?
What makes Chelsea different is that they need to compete for various championships and have more conflicts with Millwall.
Now Abramovich found that Grant could not lead the team to defeat Mirwall. Mirwall also performed quite strongly. When he won all the championships of the season and did not give other teams any chance, his ideas changed. While regretting that he did not use big money before two seasons and was determined to win Zhang Yang, Abramovich also needed to do his best to help the team defeat Mirwall.
Money is the best way.
What else can I do? Grant is leading the team. Even if the Israelis do not have the best results in leading the team, they have to know much more than themselves. The only thing he can do is get money.
Five million pounds, it sounds a lot.
As long as the team can beat Millwall in the Champions League, there will be countless possibilities in the future, which will be much more valuable than five million.
The effect of money is obvious.
Chelsea players are like they are getting bloody. Even for high-paying stars, hundreds of thousands of pounds are a big deal. For example, some marginal players, such as Bridge, Kalu and others, their weekly salary is only 50,000 or 60,000 pounds. Winning Millwall is equivalent to getting an extra month's salary.
The seduction - the temptation is too great!
The power of the prize is endless. After Chelsea played, they showed a very positive side. Every player was working hard to play, and everyone didn't want to pull the team's back. No one would selfishly dribble the ball on their own because they had a common purpose-
Win the game!
Chelsea united in trying to defeat Millwall, while Millwall seemed to have become the devil.
Judging from the form on the field, Chelsea is like a strong and heroic warrior. They use the heavy sword in their hands to fight the enemy head-on and cut out the future sky.
Millwall is like an assassin, with little offense and defense most of the time, but every counterattack can make Chelsea frightened.
Such a game lasted for a long time.
Chelsea not only have fighting spirit, they also have home advantage. They run and fight with the shouts of fans. Millwall is difficult to play with the opponent's tough battle, so they can only defend passively and occasionally make a counterattack.
In terms of game format, Chelsea has the advantage.
